"What if it was the prince who needed saving?"
Not receiving an ounce of love even in his childhood, he became heartless. His cold exterior scared people away, and not to mention his detached, unemotional personality. Haunted by his past, he was use...

"So, he's like, a secret agent?" I take a large bite out of my double cheeseburger, the ketchup sticking to the ends of my mouth.
I'm a messy eater, okay?
"It's not necessarily a secret but yes, he is an agent" Mal explains, leaning back on his seat.
"But I still don't understand. Why are they after you?" Rina taps her black manicured nail on the table, looking straight at Mal.
You're probably wondering how we got in this situation. Well, you see, after Mal saved us from gingerbread man, he took us to a super underground restaurant to explain everything and try to mend his relationship with Rina.
To say that she was furious would be an understatement.
I was waiting for her to pull out a gun and threaten to kill him any second. She didn't. She doesn't own a gun.
I hope.
She was mad because he hid so much from her even though they were like, together. Not exactly together, but they were seeing each other and don't tell me you wouldn't be furious if your date lied about being a normal person when he was a super-secret agent with ulterior motives and a whole ass organisation was after him
That being Zane and his team.
I learnt that they're part of ETF, which is like an Emergency Task Force and they take out the bad guys. He is an FBI agent, technically.
"There were some misunderstandings and now they're after my brother and I. We're doing everything we can to survive but I don't think we'll be able to hide very long" he sighs.
His long, brown hair falls on his face. No, literally. It's long. Like, shoulder-length long.
"What kind of misunderstandings? Because I sure as hell know that an entire organisation wouldn't be after you if you stole their cookies" Rina puffs her cheeks.
I take another bite of my cheeseburger as Mal tries his best to explain.
"You see, my brother, Tyril, he's a bit of a...." He winces. "Bitch?" I finish the sentence, my mouth full and some crumbs falling on the table.
"Yeah...he's a bit of a bitch and tends to hold a lot of grudges. He pissed Zane off and now he and his team are after us"
"What about Carbon? They mentioned something about Carbon" Rina rests her face on her hand, listening to Mal very carefully.
"Carbon is one of father's companies. It's also the main base. Think of us as two teams that are completely opposite. ETF, which usually deals with trafficking, drug dealing and a whole lot of murder, and ACE, people who just want to live their lives and run the company safely. Murder is something we rarely do" he gestures towards the gun laid out of the table "today was an exception. I couldn't let him hurt you"
